Groups 1 & 2 (Oct 12)

Hello everyone. Welcome once again to my blog. This time we were assigned new topics and new methods for each group. The first group was Noe's, with the topic of Daily Routines and Frequency adverbs. 

First they started with a Charades dynamic, in which the students had to mime and the rest had to guess what they were trying to say. It was fun. 

Then they explained some daily routines along with frequency adverbs

Then they did a couple of activities, one of them was in written form and the other they asked the students to come to the front in two groups and talk. 

Here's the group picture.

Then, after break, we had the 2nd group's participation about the simple present. 

First they asked the students to come to the front and share their daily routine, but they also had to remember everyone else's routine and say it.

 

                                                        

This group was focused in grammar, so they explained the structures, rules, etc.

They made very fun activities, in which they played while learning.

And here is the whole group. From my prespective, I can see that students are learning and enjoying this a lot. So I am so glad for that. This week it will be my group's turn again, and we will focus on listening. So we'll see how it goes. 

Classes by group 7 & 8

Hello again to another blog. 

With this blog we end the first round of classes. 

Group #7 was in charge of giving a review of numbers and objects in the classroom focusing on listening activities. 

Fer started with the warm up activity. Using parts of the body, such as shoulders, elbow, head, etc, and thus breaking the ice with the students to start the class. 

Then it was Maria's turn, who gave them an overview of the numbers. And then Miriam did the first activity, where the students laughed a lot because they had to pass an object among them and whoever kept it when there was silence had to participate.

Then Daniela and Nathaly did the last activities. Dani gave them an audio in which they had to write down all the numbers and classroom objects that they could identify. On the other hand, Nathaly did a dynamic called Journalist and celebrities, which honestly was the first time I heard it, but she knew how to do it successfully. 

Here are some photos from that group:

After break, we had the last group.

The last group was based on reading. First Mauricio did the Warm up activity and Jaime explained the first activity in which the students were given pieces of paper and they had to make sentences and paste them in order on the board. 

    

They explained the topic and had some activities to make sure all students understood.

                                    

 At the end, all groups did well. And with that we finished another week and we will start the last part of the semester!

Classes by groups 5 & 6

Hello everyone. Welcome to another blog. This time it was our turn as a group to teach our class. Our topic was numbers and classroom objects. 

First Jonathan started, as some of you know, he already has experience teaching, so we decided as a group that it was best for him to teach the pronunciation of numbers. 

Then, it was my turn and I asked a couple of questions related to numbers, i.e., having the students tell me their ID number, phone number, etc. 

Then we moved on to classroom objects. Aby explained the meaning and pronunciations and Rodrigo took on a writing activity. At the end we did a group activity in which the students, one by one, had to come to the front and write the number or object they were told to write. 

Overall, it was a class that I really enjoyed, I felt that we connected with the students. There were just a couple of details that we didn't manage to follow in our lesson plan but that we will definitely try to accomplish in our next class on October 19. 

Here are some photos from that day:

After break, we had the group #6 with the verb to be in the negative and interrogative form.

They first started with a listening activity related with countries.

They explained the basics of the verb to be. 

And had some extra activities. 

Here is the whole group together.

I believe everything is going good in every class, the students are learning and we are getting new experiences. Stay tuned for the upcoming classes!
